I am leaving the saltwater game and heading back to crappie and bass fishing. Gonna spend a lot of time chasing Crappie on Lake Fork and Lake Palestine. Will also spend some time on smaller lakes like Nacogdoches, Naconiche, etc.. I'm having a hard time trying to decide between Aluminum and Glass. I will be fishing some VERY stumpy lakes which is why I'm kinda leaning toward the Aluminum, and the Excel EX 203 really peaked my interest with the 200 SS Zuke, I'm just wondering how low it will set in the water with that heavy of a motor and power poles. I also like that Excel is using .160 aluminum instead of .125 like most other aluminum boat builders. What are the thoughts around here on that boat? I is there better options for the mid 40k range?
